Transmission saga continues

Ok, another call from Dieter's and not one of the "your car is ready for pickup" variety. No, main shaft seal is missing and apparently on the old 915, it gets replaced from the inside. Long story short: A lot of hours to fix.

So I called Renn Tech. I told him about the reverse shift fork issue that created the clicking when rolling backwards. Also told him about seal. He said he doesn't see how there could be anything wrong with the transmission, since it came out of a running car and, anyhow, fixing the seal issue was easy. Well, great, dueling mechanic opinions, all I can do is badly relay the complaints one gave me to the other. Fortunately, he said he'd fix the transmission, if i shipped it back to him. I can live with that.

Get to deal with a trucking company again. This time, i'll do pickup. When i showed up with the scooby at the terminal last time, they just stared at me and weren't quite sure what to do with someone physically dropping something off. That was entertaining.

I guess, we're at least another 2 weeks out then. I think i'll be a year before the car is back and running.
